That's actually a really good point... There's currently zero incentive to buying more hardware, and that's one very good reason do have a new one.

something i've just realized : today long-standing maths problems are falling. It's great intellectually but won't probably have an immediate impact on our lives. Now, what will ha…

"was considering a mass sell off to raise cash to defend the Yen." How would that have worked ? Selling US bonds in exchange for yens, to diminish the amount of yen in the economy,…

Never developped a driver, but doesn't that require running the OS in some special mode, or in a VM, requiring a ton of time waiting for the thing to reboot over and over again ?

how complex is maintaining a firecracker cluster over bare metal in practice ?

never understood why people say that: the syntax for defining code seems quite different from the syntax defining data structure. There's no homoiconicity in javascript..

Not a really nice post. It reads like someone refusing to accept bitter feelings (which is absolutely understandable given the circumstances), and then go on to personally attackin…

i don't understand the last point of UDF. Either you need the state to be updated atomically across different systems or you don't. But writing a row in a system in order to update…

I wonder if our common expectation that true theories somehow had to be beautiful and elegant is going to survive the coming century. What if "real" nature phenomenon were actually…

if this was the case, there would be no state sponsoring palestinian terrorism for a long time. Look at what happened after 9/11, it's pretty clear there's a wide difference betwee…

"Because this version of AI is worth 10 trillion dollars." i wonder how much the real version of AI is worth. I've got a hinch we're going to find out pretty soon.

wondering : apart from the aesthetics, is there still some technology from beos that would be still considered an improvement compared to what today's OS provide ?

of course, nothing magically prevents the app from sending keys or decrypted content to a third party. That's why if you're really serious about e2ee you have to install the app fr…

i think using AI is going to transform our definition of programming into something more abstract, but it's still going to require human. We're going to start thinking in terms of …

yes miro is also what i'm using. It's really a digital whiteboard.

"used to be" ?? What are engineering team doing nowadays when discussing architecturing their systems ?

i tried to find an API pricing for GLM 5.1 but couldn't find any on the homepage. How are you using it ?

you forgot the memory model. Which is an absolutely essential and hard to design part of the agent.

could it be that anthropic is experiencing a massive shortage of compute capacity, and is desperately trying to find means to overcome it ? All the news i hear about this company f…

nope, iphone here, and quite recent. But it's not just me, all the people i communicate with on this app have the same kind of problems. With a group of friends we even had a total…

signal is really crappy. It fails at the most basic feature which is : deliver the message on time.

same here... The API costs are absolutely insane for any real usage. This is either high prices to make sure no profitable competitor to claude workspace or other agent system emer…

it's also something that was in my mind when i wrote about those two options. I still keep this idea in the back of my head since those days (i'm old enough to remember when gates …

I only see two outcomes for this problem : an internet of verified identities (start by uploading your ID card). Or a paid internet, where it doesn't matter who you are, but since …

i wonder what makes go more modern than java, in terms of features.
